history

The Servite Monastery in Schornsheim was built before 1339. On October 20, 1339, Nerses, the archbishop of Manazguerda / Manaskert / Malazgirt ( Manalgardensis , a bishopric in what was then Armenia, now Turkey) and the bishops Peter of Cagli ( Calliensis ), Peter of Acerno ( Acernensis ), awarded Gratian of Bolsena ( Vulcinensis ), Salman of Worms ( Wormaciensis ), Sergius of Pula ( Pollensis ), Bernhard of Kanos ( Ganensis , former bishopric in Thrace), Peter of Monte Marano ( Montis Marani near Aquileia ), Thymas of Knin ( Tininiensis ) and Andreas of Coron ( Cornensis , former bishopric in Koroni in Greece) the monasteries of the Servite order in Erfurt ( extra muros Erfordenses ), in Himmelgarten (near Nordhausen ) ( in orto coeli prope opidum Northusen ), in Mariengart ( in orto sancte Maria virginis ), in Marienthal in Schornsheim ( in valle sancte Maria virginis in Scornsheim ) and mentioned again, in Nordhausen ( Northusen ) a 40-day indulgence for all believers who visit the Churches on certain days he visit mentioned monasteries. It is the first mention of this monastery. The settlement was also called Conventus Vallis Sanctae Mariae or Conventus Vallis Mariae . The monastery church, built with donations and alms, was dedicated to the Holy Cross. According to Brilmayer, on the other hand, some Servites from the Servite Monastery in Germersheim are said to have settled in Schornsheim only in 1374 . This contradicts the above document.

On November 24, 1374, the Servites' settlement in Schornsheim received confirmation and protection from Emperor Karl. IV. On September 17, 1381, Archbishop Adolph von Mainz confirmed that he would give the Sabbath sermon and the donation of church sacraments including burial to the Servite monasteries in Erfurt, Himmelgarten near Nordhausen, in Vacha, in Mariengart and in Schornsheim In addition, the believers present at a sermon in one of the above-mentioned monastery churches received a forty-day indulgence.

In 1486, the Prior General of the Servites, Antonius Alabanti, visited the Order of Alamania and held a provincial chapter in the convent in Germersheim. For this purpose, he also had a register created in which the number of monks, the church equipment and mostly also the income of the respective monasteries in the order province was recorded, as well as the contributions of the individual monasteries to the order headquarters. The monastery in Schornsheim had to give 6 guilders to the center of the order. According to the register of Antonius Alabanti, the convent in Schornsheim had only two priest-monks in 1486, the first in the list, Fr. Henricus Steyna, from the Vacha monastery; he must also have been the prior of the settlement. The monastery owned 44 yoke fields and three yoke meadows as well as half a vineyard. However, the list at Schornsheim Monastery does not include the annual income. In the provincial chapter of the Servite monasteries in Germersheim, Fridericus Saulem was also confirmed as a new prior.

In 1534, the prior of the Schornsheim Monastery, Jakob Antz, appointed the Vacha friar Nicolaus Adam as his successor. It is not known whether he has taken office. The Vacha monastery was closed in 1527. The end of the monastery came around 1550 at the latest with the introduction of the Reformation in Schornsheim by the so-called Schornsheimer Ganerbegemeinschaft.
